Surfposters have an undeniably important place in any surfers arsenal. The inspiration gained from surfing pictures such as big wave posters and surfing posters helps the surfer get and keep in touch with their links to ocean and its many changing moods. When I was younger I didn’t really care that much about appreciating the surfposter and the ability of the photographer to capture the essence and the art of nature, and then to transfer it to surf art in the form of surfing posters. I think it was mainly the fact that as a young surf grommet i would look at my surfposters above my head as i lay in bed and just place myself in those big waves. Then as now i use surfing pictures as part of my inspiration and connection with the waves big or small. Nobody ever really took the time to explain to me why we should appreciate surf art and what the surf photographer puts into his or her piece of art. The dedication of the surf picture man is a highly motivated and skillful individual, putting themselves into dangerous positions above the coral and the bigwave that can end a career in an instant. The surfing posters offered here are a some of their legacy. As you peruse the surf posters think a little bit of the person with the camera and where they are placed to take the surfshot. It'll help you appreciate the true meaning of the surf posters art.
